Available events and parameters for Travel Ads

Last updated: September 2025

Events are actions taken on your website, like adding an item to a cart or making a purchase. Parameters are properties that can be paired with any event to impact campaign performance. While not all are required, all are recommended to improve performance. Different parameters are needed depending on the type of catalog you choose.


This article lists the required and recommended events and parameters for Travel Ads.

Note: To pass back the four standard events to TikTok, you'll need to set up your data connections using either the TikTok Pixel or Events API connection.

Available parameters for Travel Ads

Each of the four standard events has required and recommended parameters to pass back with the content_ids or contents.content_id object, which is used to match events to the catalog.


The content_ids information must be passed in one of the following two formats:


Type

Description

Example

content_ids

Single string or array of content_ids

The specific content ID of a product or product group in your catalog. Remember to include the letter "s" at the end of content_ids.

['1234','5678']

contents.content_id

String

Part of contents object type. See documentation.

The specific content ID of a product in your catalog and sub-object information.

'1234'

Additionally, we recommend including the content_type parameter to specify the catalog and content type. Acceptable values are:

  • hotel

  • flight

  • destination

Note: Your parameter values must match the corresponding values used in your catalog for full effect. In the case of content_id, ensure the values match the product-level IDs (for example,hotel_id, flight_id, destination_id) provided in your catalog.
